This brave soldier died helping to protect me, my family, the country, and the civilized world from the forces of evil. His mother has nothing to contribute but noise. Which life is wasted?

[Names Ash Housewares]

In time maybe we can get her to understand.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Statements like this come from grief. They do a lot more harm than good. i wish that the grieving families would remain silent to the press, instead of coming out with this.

"She isn't taking it very well," Brady said of her daughter-in-law. "I've only talked to her once, but I know it's been very difficult for her."
They sound real close. Right.

[kellynla]

With all due respect to the mother.
I know she is going through a very difficult time.
But hopefully in time she will come to realize that her son did not die in vain. And that God decided to take him and he is in a better place.

May he rest in peace.

Freedom is not free!

Semper Fi,

Key sentence: "Danny knew this, but it was his decision."

A Mother's grief can never be deminished, and I cannot blame her for her feelings, but her Son knew the consequences and chose his path in life. He did not waste his life and he did not die in vein. God Bless the Mother and her loved ones.

I can understand her grief and anger. It is a personal tragedy nonetheless. But to turn a personal tragedy into an indictment of the entire war IMHO reduces the sacrifices to a less than noble cause.

All deaths in war are personal tragedies to the families involved.

The question is why is the media playing up the personal trajedy and not the nobility of those who serve?

This can't be posted too many times. Let a soldier or Marine know that s/he is in your thoughts.

[odoso]

MSM scum preying upon a distraught mother and working the "shame on America" angle.

This guy was and is a hero! - with Honor, Integrity, Courage and Loyalty to this country. As are ALL American soldiers; past, present and future!

God Bless him.

[RexBeach]

"And look where we are?" Com'on, Mom. How about if we hadn't fought the Nazis or Tojo and the Japanese Empire. Then where would we be? Your son did his part as a good American. He fought to protect me and my family and I am grateful to him for his sacrifice.

God bless him and you, too.

I have to feel bad for some of the families that speak like this. My own father is a pacifist who thinks that his grandsons are wasting their whole life by serving their country. I have asked both him and my hippy brother to not talk to the press if anything happens to one of our sons.

[Antoninus]

God bless this soldier. The nobility of our country is reduced by his loss.

His grieving mother can be excused for her words, spoken in bereavement. The leftist rag that sought out the self-serving soundbites from a mother in her moment of desolation, however, has no such excuse. They are contemptible.

Daniel, may the Lord be watching over your soul. May eternal reward be yours for what you did for others.

[vpintheak]

I am very much a pacifist," she said. "Danny knew this, but it was his decision."

He was a soldier, and he knew the risks, he didn't waste his life.

"She isn't taking it very well," Brady said of her daughter-in-law. "I've only talked to her once, but I know it's been very difficult for her."

Translation: She has alienated them to the point where they no long have contact with her. His wife only called to inform her that the son she gave birth to is a Hero, and she will no longer have any contact with him. He felt that the country that he lived in and that his wife and children he had was more important than his own life. But, being a selfish, liberal pacifist she will never understand that. So the first thing she does is call a news conference to spread hate and demoralize our troops.

[trubluolyguy]

Her son's life was not a waste, nor was his death. He is a hero.

It is unfair to get a parents' opinion this soon after the sacrifice of their child, I say wait a year or two, then talk to her.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

"She isn't taking it very well," Brady said of her daughter-in-law. "I've only talked to her once, but I know it's been very difficult for her."

Does anyone else find it odd that this woman has only spoken to her son's wife once since his death?

[craig_eddy]

"His life was wasted"

Sadly we'll never really know whether this was true or not. If no terrorist attack happens, the left will say "See there was no threat" and if one does they'll say "See we told you it was all a waste anyway"

And why is this news, but the > 1000 families who know their fallen loved ones did not live nor die in vain get no coverage?

[Trailerpark Badass]

Pacifists, the ultimate free-loaders. The most perverse creation of modernism.

[McGavin999]

Thank you Daniel for your service. You will not be forgotten and your life was sacrificed in a worthy cause. You have the gratitude of this nation and the new Iraqi nation as well.

[trebb]

Easy on his Mom - can't blame her for grieving over a son who died for something she doesn't understand. Those who die for our freedom, die for all of us, whether the people get it or not.

My prayers of thanks for Pfc. Daniel Anderson and my prayers for God's healing Grace on his mother.
